Please note that some fields might not be applicable for all technologies or all project
phases. Level of information detail varies according to phase requirements.
1. Renewable Energy Source
The Applicant should demonstrate that the renewable energy resource is available on a
sustainable basis.
Annual average resource availability. Even during winter the Kuskokwim discharge is
10,000 gps if a method is set up right the river has
the potential to create 300mwh of power or more.
Unit depends on project type (e.g. windspeed, hydropower output, biomasss fuel)

6. Power Purchase/Sales Price
a) Price for power purchase/sale .07/15 for ten year payback
7. Project Analysis
a) Basic Economic Analysis
Project benefit/cost ratio
Payback Maintaining the same power rate to customers would create a 3 year
payback with future kw rates dropping 80 percent, saving the state of
Alaska and Crooked Creek over 200,000 dollars a year in Fuel
expenses. Using easy maintenance and low tech. technologies ensure
maintenance requirements can be met locally.
